Chapter 262 Selling ponies?
As soon as the sun rose in the morning, Dinah woke up Nini, and then went to call Ran Ran and Tong Tong to take the two little people to see her pony. The bed rolled down with a thud, and the clothes were put on three times. The sister and mother were also curious, so they followed to see the little guys' ponies.

After you have taken care of the bean grass and snowflakes, as soon as you enter the door, you see your mother, sister Dinah, and the three little ghosts dressed in cowboys, and you smile and say, "This is going to ride a horse." .After looking back, I didn't find my father, so I asked my mother, "Where did this father go?"

My mother said with a smile: "I went to harness the horse as soon as I got up. I was thinking about my black horse in my hometown. I will ride the horse and follow the cowboys to herd the cows in the early morning."

Ju An followed his mother and sister Dinah and walked towards the barn together with the three little ponies. None of the three little ponies were put in the stable. The height of the stall is not as high as the door of the stall, so you can get out of the stall by just lifting your legs when you put it in.

After a few people arrived at the barn with the three little guys, Juan and Dinah drove the three little ponies out. The mother and sister were very surprised when they saw this kind of pony for the first time, and the mother said with a smile : "This horse is long, not as big as a donkey, and the bag noodles are probably not good. What's the use of raising this thing."

Ju An interface said: "This is more expensive than many big horses. If you don't look at the breed, you can buy cheaper horses here for a few hundred dollars. The cheapest is two hundred dollars. Each of these three horses is More than $1000 is for children to play with, the rest is of no use.”

While talking, Ju An distributed a few small shovels to the three little boys, and took the three little guys to shovel the horse manure first. When the sister and mother saw it, they wanted to come over to help. Ju An saw it and said: "They their own ponies, and they shovel the manure themselves."

Dinah smiled and said to her mother and sister, "Nini gets up every morning to shovel horse manure and brush horse hair. I do all these tasks by myself, so it's okay."

Sister Ju Rao and mother stopped after hearing this, and watched Ju An take the three little men to shovel the horse manure outside.

After Nini shoveled the horse manure, she put the small plastic shovel in front of the barn door, and began to take the water rein and walked to her pony, and then began to rein in her floral skirt, Dinah taught Once, after getting up every morning to brush the horse and shovel the horse manure, Nini did it by herself. After she taught it, Dinah never helped.Dinah and Ju An began to teach Ran Ran and Tong Tong how to get on the water, rein in and brush the horse's hair.After a few gestures, Ju An handed the brush to Ran Ran, and watched the little guy brushing his bristles by himself, so as to remind him of the wrong places and the places he didn't brush.

It was the first time brushing a pony, Ran Ran and Tong Tong seemed to work very hard, the little brushes were very nimble in their hands, and they were finished brushing quickly, Ju An and Dinah checked it, and then started to teach the two little people again Get on the saddle. At this time, Nini has already prepared the saddle. Due to her small size and lack of strength, Dinah will help to untie the horse's girth. He started walking on a pony.

The two little people, Tongtong and Ran Ran, became impatient, waiting to learn how to put on the saddle, the three little people rode in front on the pony, and the four adults, Ju An and mother, followed behind. , and walked towards the house together.

Ran Ran was very honest sitting on the pony's back, but Tongtong kept urging her pony, muttering non-stop: "Drive! Drive! Horse run fast".After a few urges, the pony under his crotch began to trot. No matter how fast he ran, the speed of the four short legs was not very good. There were three little people playing on the pony at the door of the house, Ju An himself Put on the saddle of bean grass and start to look around the pasture.Then it is to accompany the three children on the swing or watch them ride the pony, or play with Teddy and others.

In less than a week, Ran Ran and Tong Tong didn't want to brush the horses in the morning. In the morning, when everyone gathered around the dining table, Tong Tong said to Ju An's mother: "Grandma, Tong Tong doesn't want to shovel horse dung and brush horses every day." Grandma will help Tongtong shovel horse manure and brush the horse, okay?"

My mother smiled and said: "If you don't shovel, you won't shovel it. Grandma will help you shovel it later. How much horse manure can a horse without a donkey pull? Grandma will shovel it for you with two shovels."

When Ran Ran heard that grandma agreed to Tongtong's request, she immediately said, "Then grandma will also help Ran Ran."

Ju An's mother smiled and nodded: "Okay! Okay! Grandma will help you with the work later, and let my weird grandchildren have fun."

Nini probably didn't want to brush the horses and shovel manure every day, and looked at Ju An and Dinah while holding a milk cup.Dinah frowned when she heard what her mother said, and Ju An was also a little unhappy after hearing that, so she said to her mother: "Mom! Don't help them, let them do their own things."

After hearing this, my mother said: "What kind of horse manure can I shovel at such a young age, my hands are not strong enough, and the horse is not clean."

Ju An shook his head and said: "The children here in the United States basically teach them to do some housework to earn pocket money. Now, Nini also shovels manure and brushes her own pony by herself, because the little one is not strong enough for me and Dai. Na will help to tighten the girdle, Tongtong and Ran Ran are older than Nini, especially Ran Ran can tighten the girth, let them do it themselves."

Seeing the serious look on Ju An's face, the mother sighed and looked at the three children and then stopped talking. The father nodded after hearing Ju An's words and said: "Well, it's right to do this, don't It is said that when we were a little bit older, we helped the family to hunt pigweed and so on. Even when San’er was a few years old, he didn’t help the family with boiling water, cooking, etc. Don’t spoil the children too much. spoiled."

Ju An turned his head to Ran Ran and Tong Tong and said, "This pony belongs to you two, not grandma's pony. If you want to ride, you must brush the horse. If you don't brush it, I will take your pony today." The pony is sold".

Tong Tong looked at her mother Ju Rao eagerly, just as her sister was about to say something, Ju An glared at her and swallowed her words, Tong Tong saw that asking for help had no effect and said to Ju An angrily: "If you sell it, you will be fine." sell".

After hearing this, Ju An asked Ran Ran: "Then do you want to brush the horse? If you don't, you will sell it."

After listening to Ju An's words, Ran Ran nodded and said in a low voice: "I'll brush".Then he buried his head and began to slowly eat the rice in the bowl.Tongtong was angry and didn't eat, her mouth was puffed up, the little guy looked at Ju An with a cold face, but she didn't dare to speak, sitting on the stool by herself and sulked, while the two children, Nini and Ran Ran, buried their heads He didn't say a word while eating.

After finishing the meal, Ju An drove the small pickup truck of the ranch out of the garage, stopped the car in front of the barn, and led Tongtong's pony into the car behind the car in front of the three little guys. In Douli, Tongtong sat down on the ground immediately when she saw it and began to cry loudly: "Little uncle is a big villain, little uncle is a big villain".

Ju Anli ignored the little guy's cries, directly closed the back of the car, and was about to sit in the driver's cab. Now Tongtong stopped scolding his uncle for being a big villain, and immediately hugged Ju An's leg and howled: "Don't Sell ​​my pony, Uncle, don't sell my pony."

Then Ju An turned around and asked, "You don't brush horses, you don't shovel horse dung, you don't want to raise horses, and no one rides and takes care of him here, so why don't you sell the pony?"

Tongtong cried and said: "I said angry words, I said angry words."Pulling Ju An's trouser legs and wiping away tears, she said.

Ju An then asked: "Then do you still brush the horses and shovel the horse manure?".

"I shovel horse dung, I brush horses, uncle, don't sell Tongtong's horse," Tongtong nodded quickly.

After hearing this, Ju An said to Tongtong: "This is the first and last time. Next time, if you say no to brushing the horse or shoveling the manure, uncle will sell the horse directly. It's useless to cry any more." ".

Tong Tong twitched her nose and nodded, and Ju An continued, "Then I won't sell it this time, remember there will be no next time."After speaking, he opened the back box and led the pony down again.

As soon as the pony came down, Tongtong took the rein of the pony and walked towards the barn door crying all the way, then picked up the small shovel and began to shovel horse manure with Ran Ran and Nini.Ju An drove the car back to the warehouse, and then walked to the front of the barn, and her mother began to complain about Ju An: "It's fine to scare the child, look at the one who made Tongtong cry, and still sobbing ".

Ju An glanced at her sister and said: "Which family's children are not children. In the past, we Chinese paid attention to holding grandchildren and not children. It is better for children to have a strict father and a loving mother. Now, the only child and a few elderly people take their parents with them." Let’s pet together, let’s see what kind of education the child has become. Most of the children of one of my classmates dare to spit at him. After spitting, the grandparents are still laughing next to them. If Nini and Dinah dare to do this after giving birth, I slapped him a long time ago, I'm not used to this problem, see if he dares to vomit after a slap."

Mom curled her lips and said nothing.After seeing it, Dinah said: "This is how we educate Nini now. Nini is almost three years old, and she has gradually started to remember things. I didn’t feed, I ate by myself, the most I ate was everywhere and then I wiped it, I didn’t eat when it was time to eat, and we didn’t remind me, after eating, I put away the tableware, no matter how hungry she was, she had to wait until the next meal, Then it will be eaten naturally."

After hearing this, my sister looked at Tongtong who was crying and brushing the pony, shook her head and said, "Hey, that's right, think about when we were young, and think about these children now, they are too selfish, everything is good. Thinking about myself, when we were young, when my elder brother ate a roasted potato, he would give half of it to me and San’er, and one night I wore a cotton-padded jacket and put the roasted potato in my arms, but I fell down and filled my pocket with the potato.”
